I don't know much about IG but I don't beliebe they have a subreddit-style layout; everything is just in one giant repository. So that does not add to the complications of transferring images and comments, etc. over. However, unless Lemmy had the exact same structure as reddit I don't see how this would be feasible without a dev going through each community to find a Lemmy match (and pray the communities don't change tomorrow)
Yes to recreate threading someone would have to scrape the whole data of a thread and all sorts of other issues. But authored threads with that succession of OC posts might be re-constructible. I have various threads in that progressive structure vein on Twitter that I am planning to bring across from Twitter to Calckey for example, but with microblog there is no community selection needed, which would be an extra hurdle.
